Member 3757, 1746 posts SQ 202.5, BP 110, DL 255567.5 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | I'm seeing Benni and Andy on Sunday so will ask them both what they've done and what they think they might do. | ||

I eat a lot of meat Member 5124, 2997 posts SQ 245, BP 130, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | John said: Have to agree with all that thought that wrist might have hundred him but he is looking to be the favourite now.I do wonder though were is Eddie with his deads.would you say Eddie is a natural pusher than puller?what are his number at present? :-) :-) Well he is just strong at all static lifts to be fair, and he just keeps getting stronger. I saw a vid where he said he was good for 450 I think, but now that he's put a suit back on to experiment for this event (Despite him saying suits are gay haha) he seems to be pulling bigger already. I think Ed is a real dark horse. | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4719 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | What are the other events at Europes ? Can't find them anywhere | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22056 posts | I'd prefer it if they were strict pressing or zerchering for world dominance, but it'll be interesting | ||

Firstly, if they've pulled X already it's more likely they can do it again (both physically and psychologically). Secondly, if they think they can pull Y then it might get in the heads of the other competitors and throw them off their game, or it might show how confident they are and a confident lifter will likely lift more than that some person not being confident. So yes I do think it makes a flying bit off difference | ||

understanding of the sport, little he has.

Training wise; Andy won't pull more than a fast 370/380/390kg leading up to this Benni will probably pull heavy (420kg+) for at least another week I'd guess Comp wise - I don't think any of them really know. Andy will do the 400kg opener, then pull 446kg (current strongman record is 445kg). From there it's anybody's guess | ||

If I knew that this was someones gameplan and I was out before them I'd get in 1st just to rock the boat, but that's just me I know the opening lift is 400kg and then it will increment up it set values (e.g. 415kg, 430kg etc) - I don't know what those values are. 446kg will definitely be a weight as it is 1kg over the current strongman world record and Mr Bryce will want to ensure that it's broken at the comp. So for the deadlift only guys (Andy, Benni and Shaw) it makes no sense doing any other lifts other than the opening 400kg before attempting the record as they are just going for the biggest pull and don't have anything else to worry about - Why tire themselves out?. For the guys in the Strongman comp, it's not that simple as they need to make sure that they get points from the event - In reality they will end up having to take each attempt to ensure they are in the best position to get points. For example, if Ed just went 400kg, then straight into 446kg and failed it - He would end up coming last in the event (assuming no one fails to lift 400kg that is which sounds like a mental assumption, but may well be the case) | ||

still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | So a 446, 447 & 448 on the bounce is a very distinct possibilty? Can can only be a good thing. 3rd attempt selections would be very interesting. | ||

Hamstrings feel activated. Member 1107, 6964 posts SQ 220, BP 152.5, DL 252.5625.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Is it just 3 attempts or is it as many as you want to failure? | ||
